If you don't have a submersible pump, you may have to reprime your pump.
Be sure to set the tank precharge to 2 psi less than pump cutin pressure.
It will probably come from the factory with about 40 psi precharge.

Hi! I'm getting ready to replace my bladder tank on my well.
Is there anything I need to be aware of before I remove the old one?
When I put in the new one do I just hook it up, turn on the power, and the world will be a more wonderful wetter place? (without my pump kicking on and off every 6 seconds)
Will I, possibly, have to reprime my pump in order to get things working again after bladder replacement?
Thanks!

Make sure you get the air pressure pre-charge set to 2 pounds less than the pressure switch's turn-on pressure.
